Describe a method for refining nickel.

Answer»

Solution :For REFINING nickel is heated in a stream of CARBON MONOXIDE forming volatie complex (nickel tetracarbonyl).
`Ni + 4CO overset(330 - 350K)to Ni(CO)_4`
The carbonyl is subjected to high temperature so that the complex DECOMPOSES to give the pure metal.
`Ni(CO)_4 overset(450 - 470 K)to Ni+4CO`
This process is called Mond.s process.
